Not sure where you got it from but it is most likely set up for a bike. You will have to put it on to see how it performs then go from there. If you have never messed with the slide carb I would read up on how to tune. Unlike the cv carbs these slides are more tunable and more involved then the cv carbs, but once you get it tuned it will be right on. I have the VM 34 on my 150 single. I run a 200 main but that is on a highly modified engine. I ordered my carb from CPW so I had someone to pick their brain as to how to get the carb in the ballpark, then I just had to fine tune it. I do know at one time someone on the other forum was making a spacer for the Mikuni. I believe that since it is longer the spacer will be needed to clear the engine. I was using the 30mm performance intake which sets at a greater angle compared to the stock manifold and had no clearance problems from the engine but had to raise my fuel tank a few inches to clear it.
